Starting early in Bangkok. Meet your private driver at the hotel lobby and depart to Kanchanaburi. The trip will take approximately 3 hours. 1 Restroom stop pre-arranged. You can always ask for a restroom stop using simple English like "Toilet".

Upon arrival at Elephant Haven, you will begin with the safety briefing for all the activities. Learn what you should and should not do during your time with the elephants. There are no chains and saddles. Now that they are in the haven, treated with a high standard of living as they deserve. Here, they walk in the lush green forest, roam free, play in the mud, eat well and swim in the deep river. It is time to retire them from their labors, young or old, and say goodbye to being ridden. It is time for people to come to treat them with respect. Prepare food for the elephants including fruits, and then given the opportunity of meeting and getting to know the elephants whilst feeding them. Walk to the forest with the elephant to learn about elephant information. After lunch, watch them enjoy playing in a mud pit. With no riding, walk with the elephants to the river and bathe the elephants. Walk with the elephants through the forest back to the main project area, feed the elephants and take the final photos of the day.
